AMEX 5% CASHBACK DEAD?

They switched me over from SPG to BC two weeks ago with no issues.

Anything specific you said? Andrew via Chat is telling me "I checked the details for you Starwood Preferred Guest Card, I am afraid, it can not be changed to a card from the Blue Cash Family. If you wish, you can apply for a Blue Cash card and then close this account with Starwood Preferred Guest Card. "

Try again. May have better luck with a different rep. I converted my wife's DL card to BC as well.

It's been mentioned earlier in this thread that trying many times is not necessary. Either your account is eligible for conversion, in which case it's easy no matter who the rep is, or you're not, in which case it's impossible no matter who the rep is. YMMV but i thought i'd help save someone some time.

No idea what goes into that eligibility.

CV is like Dumbledore.

As long as there are those here still loyal to him, he will not truly have left.

Once you hit the $6,500 threshold, when does it reset - on January 1, or the anniversary of opening the card? Would be a shame to work on spending the $6,500 before I go back to Israel, only to find that the next time I come to the US, I have to start the $6,500 all over again.

Also, will $6,500 of non-G/G/D spend trigger the 5% bonus at G/G/D? Or do you have to spend $6,500 specifically on G/G/D in order to trigger it?

It restarts every calendar year and any purchases equalling 6.5K triggers the 5% to start.

One more tidbit: the first $6500 spend gives 1% at g/g/d but just .5% elsewhere.

It resets on the statement following the card anniversary.
The Blue Cash Preferred goes with the calendar year but not the old BC.

"For your first $6,500 of eligible purchases in the 12 billing periods in a row beginning with the one in which the anniversary of your Card Account occurs (reward year), you will receive a reward of 1% on Everyday Purchases and a reward of 0.5% on all other eligible purchases. For each dollar of eligible purchases in excess of $6,500 in that same reward year, you will receive a reward of 5% on Everyday Purchases and a reward of 1% on other purchases. If your billing cycle changes, the length of your reward year will also change."

On a card that was converted to BC when does it reset? When the original card was opened or when the conversion took place?

Ask them when your anniversary date is.
